Word Clouds Compare Tweets From Trump, Snyder, Stabenow, Amash

Here's a colorful way to see and compare what President Trump and Michigan politicians are tweeting about in 2018.

We took every post on Twitter this year from President Trump, Governor Snyder, Senator Stabenow, Senator Peters, Congressman Amash and Grand Rapids Mayor Bliss and created six separate word clouds. What follows is the words each politician has most commonly used on Twitter so far this year.

All six word clouds were created the same way allowing for a fair and interesting way to compare what each chooses to say and share on Twitter. The words used most frequently appear the largest.

Each politician's word cloud appears directly below their name and photo.

What is and isn't included in the Twitter-based word clouds?

The word clouds include what each politician tweeted from Jan. 1, 2018 - Feb. 7, 2018 at 4pm EST.

The more frequent a word was entered on Twitter, the larger it appears.

The different colors are for design and readability only.

Retweets were not included. However, text accompanying retweets were included.

President Trump sometimes retweets by manually retyping and quoting someone else's tweet rather than using Twitter's built-in retweeting function. In these cases, that text was included.

All parameters (size, color, etc.) were applied exactly the same in all six word clouds.
